Description
Delicate yet quietly powerful chenin from the inimitable Anjou vigneron Sebastien Derviux, known for his Domaine des Griottes founded alongside Pat Desplats and, of course, his own project Babass.
Variety and region are both pure and compelling here, with the wine having seen just enough oxygen to retain some golden primary fruit but gain a nicely crystalline texture and a vivid notion of rocky soil.
This is tasting wonderful now and will continue to gain harmony and depth for some years to come.
